Roswell is asking residents to weigh in on a new Recreation Master Plan that will serve as the city's blueprint for future development.
A survey on the city website asks households to help chart the future of its parks, facilities and recreational services by listing their preferences for how money is used. The last Recreation Master Plan was completed in 2000.
"It's not set in stone, but it will provide us with a general direction of where we want to go," said Morgan Rodgers, assistant director of the Roswell Recreation, Parks, Historic & Cultural Affairs Department. "We think we do a real good job, and the reason is because of the master plan."
Roswell spends about $10 million annually on its parks and recreation.
Results of the survey will be compiled and presented at a series of public meetings in September where residents will get another chance to comment.
Without trying to taint the survey, Rodgers said he thinks residents will probably focus on several key areas, including additional green space and bicycle paths, aquatic facilities and lacrosse.
